the enormous financial loss involved, these
figures are shocking to every humane in
stince. They mean that tens of thousands
of cattle have frozen TO death in Montana,
and that other multitudes have died of
starvation, while nearly all that have sur
vived must have suffered cruelty from cold
and hunger. The native steers and COWS
Of Montana are wonderfully hardy ami
mails. with a knack of keeping alive when
the ground Is covered with deep snow for
weeks at a time, and it may be set down
as a certainty that when these half-wild
beasts perish by wholesale the exposure
and lack Of s~ustenance have been fright
full. It is well that the cattle business Of
the western ranges must soon be adj usted
to new and more civilized conditions. At
present it is barbarous to the last degree,
and whole herds will continue to die Of
cold and starvation until the filling up of
the country makes it improbable to waste
land and live stock in the present fashion,

Charges Against Swineford.

Some odd charges are made against
Governor Swineford Of Alaska, which, ii
true, show that parsonage to be a very
shallow demagogue. Afidavits have been
filed by citizens of Sitka in which he is
charged with melting a riot against the
Chinese, saying that no Chinaman should
be allowed to vote while white men We're
unemployed. One affidavit says that the
owner of a gold mill on Douglas island
gave swineford a sos nugget as a head for
president Cle7eland's cane. The depon-
ent says that the governor had a $40 gold
piece melted into a head for the presidents
cane and he believes that the S6S cane was
sent to Don Dickinson. All of which goes
to show that Swinefo1d considers Dickin-
son "a bigger man" than Cleveland.

The Color Line.

The exclusion of a colored man from
the Young Mems Christian Association in
New York has given rise to considerable
discussion. The chairman of the board Of
managers says: NO one regrets the neces-
sity of excluding this estimable young
colored man more than we do, but no
other course was open to us. He gradua-
ted from Cooper Institute, and was in
every respect a worthy man, but there is
a strong prejudice against colored men
among those We are particularly anxious
to reach, and we cannot ignore it." An
other representative Of the Association
urges the establishment of branch of the
association expressly for colored members
the same as was done on Second avenue
for the Germans.

The Indian Commission.

Washington special: So much oppo-
%sition, congressional and otherwise, has
developed to the agreements made by the
northwestern Indian commission that it is
feared that its work may be entirely vast
ed. Protests loud and long are coming in
against the Fort Berthold agreement. The
Montana work of the commission has been
just received and did not reach congress.
Montana men here say the agreements are
not satisfactory. 1t is also said that the
Indians may refuse to abide by the agree
mentsi if not carried out soon.

Mineral Product of 1886.

The report of the director of the mint
contains statistics of the production Of
precious metals in the United States in
the year 1886, vas transmitted to congress
on Feb. %. From the report it appears
that the production of gold during 1886
exceeded that Of any previous year since
1880, and almost equalled the production
of that year. It amounted to S34,000,0O0
in 1886, against s31,s00,Ooo in 1885. The
production of silver, as nearly as can be
ascertained, was 1885, 800. The amount
Of gold bullion imported into the United
States was ~$17,947,518; export, $27, 9622,
637.

Starving Indians.

Miles City special to the Independent:
Great restitution exists among the Chey-
ennes on the Rosebud and Tongue rivers.
1t appears from what can be learned that
Agent Upshaw last fall cadsed Indian
beef cattle to be taken over to Mollok's
Fork, on the Crow reserve, distant about
thirty miles from the Cheyenne agency,
and turned loose. The result is that near
ly or quite all of the cattle drifted back to
their old range in Wyoming, and even had
they not done SO it would have been an i'm
possibility to have driven them to the
agency owing to the depth of snow and
the distance. This i'll advised action on

could be hauled through the great depth

another act of stupidity for which not the
faintest shadow Of an excuse can be found
and at this date the Cheyennes will receive
their last ration of flour. They lave had
no beef nor flour during the past fifteen
days, and the Indians have been, eating
their dead ponies and what little meat

Fortune du Boisgobey, who writes detec-
tive stories, such as 'The Vitrol Throw

books are ground out st the rate

seller said that his customers were
so anxious to see the current number
of du BoisgobeY's works that they could
scarcely restrain their Impotence. Jules
Verne is very largely read, as are also
Ouida and Clark Russell. Fenimore
Cooper is frequently called for. Although
Bret Harte and Mark Twsin's books are
in demand, they can not be found on the

Most, If not all, OF the following has

repeat anything good about this great
state. The extract is from an article in
the April number of the "Guardian," the
magazine Of Baylor University, at Waco,
Tex. 1t refers CHIEFLY to the size OF our
state:
"Texas has pa, 900 square miles, and
